saw a family purchase this just this saturday the kids looked psyched and asking if it can float ... doesn't sound very good

you knnow, jet skis don't actually qualify for real exersice.....

why not get your kid a kayak (if you're near water of course)? It's a lot of fun, it's a great workout and it doesn't involve the idiot box.

@zjgz: Nor does "bouncing" last time I checked.

@SchruteBuck: Bouncing counts if it's the reverse cowgirl.

I have to agree: this does not resemble exercise at all.

How about tying their Wii/XBox/PS1,2,3 or whatever they're hopelessly hooked on to your freakin' bumper, and let 'em chase it as you speed away? That'll get some calories burning!

We got one of these last Christmas at Kohl's on a whim. It sucks. Sucks massive amounts of ass. Neither of my kids can stay perched on the seat, so they just fall on the floor. It doesn't have nearly enough support to hold even a small adult. The handlebars detach after even a moderate turn. So we just threw the inflatable piece in the trash and ended up with a jetski game with mediocre graphics that hooks up to the TV. Stupid concept executed stupidly, with extra ineptitude thrown in as a bonus. Thank god it was cheap.

Are you tired of nagging your kid to drop the PSP and get some exercise? FirstSTREET has you covered: they're selling a video game with an inflatable jet ski so your kid can experience all the thrills of jet skiing without getting his feet wet.
